Jul 26, 2008 - Selected the 'Mass Storage' on my Kenwood KNA-G510 (GPS add on). Vehicle to the Kenwood (Garmin) KNA-G510 or hacking this thing? I was going to buy an SD card for my navigation unit (kna-g510) however I recently found out I can just take my laptop out to my car and connect to the hideaway unit via USB. I have successfully loaded custom POIs, however I am unable to have the garmin unit recognize the firmware update. Garmin’s website says to: () Insert SD card into computer, create folder called 'garmin' and extract downloaded firmware into the 'garmin' folder. Then insert SD card into navigation unit and power on. Then the garmin website says the unit will automatically recognize the firmware update and ask the user if it should install. However: When I connect to the Navy Unit via USB there is a folder called 'Garmin' I placed the extracted files into sub folder called garmin inside of gramin but that didn't work. I then extracted the files to the original folder, and that did not work either. Do you think its possible to only load POIs via USB and not firmware updates? Any Help would be appreciated thanks in advance. It seems like you need to follow these instructions. It doesn't look like you can do it directly by USB.. From the Garmin update site. Instructions for using this software 1. Create a 'garmin' folder on an SD data card (must be at least 16mb space available on the card). Download the appropriate self-extracting archive file onto your hard drive. Run the downloaded executable file. Click on Browse and select the SD card reader in the list, then select the 'garmin' folder. Click Unzip to save the files onto the 'garmin' directory on the SD card. Wait for the message that the update was unzipped successfully and close the updater. Safely remove SD card from PC. Make certain Hideaway Navigation System is off. Insert SD card into Hideaway Navigation System. If there is already a card there, temporarily remove it. Turn on Hideaway Navigation system. Your Hideaway Navigation System will ask if you would like to update software. ![]() ![]() Answer 'Yes'. The update will begin. Do not power off unit while the update is in progress. When finished you can verify the update by checking the version number in Menu->Settings->About->Software. Remove SD card. System requirements * IBM-compatible PC running Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system and an available SD card reader. Lexlevic, If you do a search here (use G510) you'll find some conversation on the G510, not that the conversation will provide you an answer, But, you may be able to contact other owners of the G510. Hopefully some of them will respond to your specific question. If you click a users name, you will see (hopefully) a contact tab at the top of the page. This means they are willing to have other users contact them via an email. Perhaps mitchgt will be able to answer your question, or enable his 'contact' tab. Motorcycle Mama wrote: 8.

I think I need to contact Garmin and see exactly what they mean by this.How do you turn the NAV system 'off' and 'on'? Does that mean disabling the GPS from receiving a signal from the sats (I would guess setting it to 'indoor')? Free restaurant pos system. Or does it mean unplugging the power source from the unit itself?
